What color should the battery sticker be on my Thunderbolt for a dry/normal battery that has never gotten wet and what should it be when it has gotten wet?
should be white with red lines going across when dry
pink when wet... see attachment (not my pic, found it online)

so my thunderbolt had gotten wet and died. however the void sticker is still black and intact. the battery sticker is still not indicating water damage. are there any other indicators in this phone?
Take the back cover off, its one on the top side of the battery, and its one on the left side of the phone in a little "peep hole" that has a void sticker on it
I got pushed into the water at a party. Phone in pocket. Let my phone dry out for three days. Popped in a new battery and it works fine. Hope your luck is as good

you know it's funny, my old HD2... i threw it out the window once while i was driving and went back to get it. it was still just fine a side from a few scratches. another time i had it laying on the center console and some jerk pulled out in front of me, had to slam on my breaks and the HD2 went flying at the windshield.. it ended up causing a major crack(spiderwebs and all) and had to get the windshield replaced. yet the HD2 was still fine.
one day i accidentally spilled a few drops of water on it and no matter what i tried(drying out, putting in bowl w/ rice, etc) nothing at all work. the thing was dead.

If the battery and. The sight hole on the phone are both a solid color then it has water damage according to Verizon, if red background with white letters or numbers visible then water damage they can't hold you responsible
Bolted Down....

where is the "sight hole" can you take a photo of what it should look like and its location?
i believe i found it. it seems to be viewed threw the gap on the lower left side.
Possible fix
I once got my phone wet and first thing I did was shut it off take out the battery and put it into a box of dry rice, the rice will pull the water out of the phone, leave it in there as long as you are able to. worked for me and my phone was watered by sprinklers for like 10 mins.
water damage indicators
Besides the one on the battery and the clearly visible one on the upper right of the phone there is a hidden water indicator in the crack along the left side of the case. BELOW the void sticker. You will see a light rectangle outline in between the between the pairs of holes below that void sticker. Look in the crack right next to that rectangle. You might need to shine a light in there to see it clearly.
I just discovered this when debating whether or not to try to get a warranty replacement. The visible indicator is fine but the one in that crack is half red and half x's.
HTC refused to repair my phone because humidity sticker was red, i asked for a photo, and OF COURSE, the photo was a fake (showing a red stick on top of the sd card reader), with many rust, and some spill of water
i opened my phone and i didn't find any sticker and was shiny like new, sd card reader was PERFECT
where i can find other humidity stickers? i'm going to check if they are white or red, because i want to show to HTC that my phone is PERFECT, with no water damage. Unresponsive touchscreen is a common problem, and it's not because of water...
Take battery cover off, look very very top left. The red reset button is bottom left, same place only at the top.
i can find only one sticker on the battery, no sticker in the top left
any sticker inside the phone (on the motherboard etc etc)

Just got my Photon in. Looks like it's brand new however when I am on a white screen I can see near the there looks like a water spot that only shows up when it's a white screen. It has a light brown hue to it.
I thought it might be coffee stain or water damage.
Looked at the inside for H20 damage stickers but can't see any.
What should I do to check?
battery has one and i believe there are 2 more in the ophone, ill ask my sprint buddy for confirmation
Where are all the water indicators on the atrix?
Water Tags
When I brought mine in, they just checked the battery tag (on the battery) and the tag just to the right of the sim card.

What should that little sticker on the battery look like if it is or is not wet?
white with a little red x pattern. If it is all red, it got wet.
I think you can grab an OEM replacement battery off of EBAY that still has the dry sticker.
My battery is fine and is white with red x's. I'm having a hell of a time with this red sticker beside the sim card...
you may be able to buy a liquid damage indicator off of say a site like ebay and then remove the back cover and replace the sticker....keep in mind there is a third liquid damage indicator on the backside of the motherboard between one of the main connectors and the vibrator.
so...
1st one is to the right of the sim card, which is supposed to be white, turns bright red when touched with water
2nd is on the battery it is normally white with red x's, it turns red when touched with water
3rd is underneath the motherboard,also white, turns bright red when its water damaged. It isn't stuck on very well so in theory you could probably just scrape it off with a piece of plastic and just leave it missing...
in the process of disassembling your phone you will probably make it obvious to any tech that takes it apart that you did disassemble it.
in talking with different techs sometimes they open the phone up and check the 3rd one, sometimes they don't...
Hi guys, I was wondering how the water sticker is supposed to look like? I bought my evo 3d used, but at the time of sale it seemed completely fine. However, the stickers on the battery and inside the battery slot on the phone have red stripes going through it...is that normal? Thanks to anyone that can answer this.
That's normal and there is one on the back of the phone right below the headphone jack that should look the same.
I believe the red turns white when wet. I know I thought it would be white--->red but no.
The red lines once wet bleed and turn the whole sticker red. Its happened to mine

My theory is they put the red stripes on there so you can't bleach them if they get wet because they used top be poor white and turn red or pink when they got wet.
